Linghu Lan withdrew her gaze and fell on Qin Ya, who was deliberately making a choking motion behind Meng Zhuo. She couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle.
"Lan Qinyu also told me that she only realized in the underworld that the current Ning Yue was a reincarnation. That day, the original Ning Yue, while picking a bunch of wild vegetables her husband loved, slipped and fell. She only found out in the underworld that she was unlucky enough to have her soul mistakenly taken by a ghost messenger."
King Yama, seeing that Ning Yue had done nothing wrong, ordered the ghost messenger to send Ning Yue's soul back. However, upon returning, he discovered that her body had already been possessed by someone else. The ghost messenger had no choice. Just then, Lan Qinyu, the youngest daughter of the Lan family, fell into the water and was destined to die. The ghost messenger simply erased Ning Yue's original memories and pushed her into Lan Qinyu's body. As a result, Ning Yue killed Lan Qinyu again..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Meng Zhu shouted, interrupting Linghu Lan.
He was scared.
No, he believed it.
These details were so meticulously crafted, far more detailed than Ning Yue's account, that he couldn't help but believe them.
He strode forward, grabbed a broom from the corner, and pointed it at Linghu Lan. "Get out of this house! No matter where you're from, you crazy woman, Ning Yue is my wife, and no one can bully her!"
The two sedan bearers exchanged a glance and quickly stepped in front of Linghu Lan, shouting, "This is Master Wang's great-aunt! You've got some nerve, speaking to her like that! Even Master Wang treats her with utmost respect. Who do you think you are? Master Wang is the county magistrate's sworn brother! You dare hit her? Believe me, you'll be kicked out of Baihua Village tomorrow!"
The Meng family members' expressions changed. They all knew that Master Wang had powerful backing, and that no one had investigated the deaths of so many concubines. They never expected that his backing was this powerful.
This aunt is not to be trifled with.
Meng Zhuo's face was ashen. He loved Ning Yue, but he also had to consider his family. He was torn and conflicted.
Meng Qingshan grabbed Meng Zhuo's hand, his face blank and helpless. He watched as Linghu Lan was about to kneel down, pleading, "Grandma, please spare my whole family!"
A gust of cold wind swept by Qin Ya, forcefully supporting Meng Qingshan's knees and preventing him from kneeling down.
Linghu Lan quickly turned to the side and stood aside, preventing Meng Qingshan from facing her, while still speaking calmly and slowly.
"Master Meng, your kneeling puts me in an unjust position. I came here on the behalf of Lan Qinyu, formerly Ning Yue, to help you, so you wouldn't be unaware of the ghost possessing your body all day long. Your kneeling makes it seem like I'm a bully abusing my power. How can I continue? The one who lifted you up just now wasn't me, but your deceased daughter-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly felt a chill envelop them.
Meng Zhuo's face turned pale. He had felt a chill on his neck earlier, thinking it was from being scared by Ning Yue, but now he wondered if there really was a ghost? He didn't know?
Linghu Lan looked at Meng Zhuo and said calmly, "Meng Zhuo, you and Ning Yue had been married for two years. You know perfectly well whether this Ning Yue is real or fake. Your former wife is right behind you, waiting for you to speak up for her. She fell off the cliff because of you."
Meng Zhuo's grip on the broom loosened involuntarily. He wanted to turn around and look behind him, but he knew he couldn't. If he did, he would lose; it would mean he believed it and acquiesced.
He couldn't do it for Ning Yue's sake.
